Protactinium nitride is a binary inorganic compound of protactinium and nitrogen with the chemical formula PaN.[1][2][3]

Synthesis

[edit]

The compound can be obtained from the reaction of protactinium metal and nitrogen:[4]

2 Pa + N2 → 2 PaN

Also by heating protactinium tetrachloride or pentachloride in ammonia gas.[5]

Physical properties

[edit]

PaN crystals are of the cubic system with Fm3m space group.[6]
